    Mobile Techs, Same-Hour Service Calls, Store Closures, FSD Ride Sharing: A New Master Plan?

    I've seen a lot of confusion and debate over the closure of retail stores. In the past few months, Elon has also started making some very ridiculous promises about service hours. For example, he has promised that same-day and even same-hour service is a new goal for service, and that emergency...

    No service center hell for me!

    I figured people might like to hear some good news regarding big post delivery issues. My Model 3 was pretty much perfect. However, a week after delivery (last Wednesday) my car was mostly dead. No touch screen, no connection to the app other than basic lock and unlock through BT, and climate...

    Tire Wear and Costs - AWD V. RWD

    I was thinking about upgrading my RWD order to AWD, but I need additional justification. How much better is AWD for tire wear? Does it replace the need to rotate tires as frequently? Would there be any net savings on this front? AWD is definitely in the "don't need" category, though it'd be...

    Off Menu LR RWD Order: Request Denied, Order Date Kicked Back

    Hey people, I just received completion of my LR RWD order. Unfortunately, it's now the exact same as my original MR order (no LR added), but now with a 1.5 later order date. Which puts me at likely past the full tax credit date for a near east coast delivery. Yuck, I might have to consider AWD...

    EPA v. Listed Range: SR v. MR?

    Hey everyone, I was curious about one thing. The EPA rating for the Long Range was in the 330 range, but it was manually lowered down to 310 for marketing purposes. The MR 260 mile range on the order page, however, mentions it is the EPA estimate and it is unlikely that it is over-represented...

    Theory on Options Pricing

    I thought of something when reviewing the options pricing the other night and I was curious if people might agree or not. Would it be possible that the options pricing (no reduction from a $70k+ vehicle) is designed to entice reservation holders into an S and X, while simultaneously thinning...

    Pokemon Go (AR) Driving Autonomous Car Demand?

    Well, I imagine some people may find this ridiculous, but it's more about the augmented reality experience suddenly entering the mainstream as a highly desirable form of entertainment as proven by this release. What goes better with augmented reality, than a car that allows enjoying such...

    Model 3 Reservation Numbers Appearing in My Tesla

    I am not a current owner, but I had created a My Tesla account before reserving. Processed my reservation at 10:04 AM this morning. I now have a Model 3 Reservation Number showing. Does anyone know how to decode this to possibly see how early/late my reservation was compared to others? :)...

    Speculation - M3 Suicide Doors (Tesla Style)

    I've seen a lot of talk on this from various threads about the benefits and drawbacks of suicide doors, with obviously a large number of people refusing to buy a car with such an annoying door type. What if Tesla is planning on a solution, though, that'd take care of the drawbacks of suicide...

    Personal Theory on why Folding Seats won't Matter - Autonomous Trailer Hitching

    I wouldn't be surprised at all if the MX is capable of fully and autonomously hitching a Tesla "smart" trailer. To be more specific, I believe that the car will fully maneuver itself into place once you're within a few feet, will raise/lower itself onto a trailer hitch with Air Suspension...

    National Drive Electric Week events (Columbus, Ohio and others)

    I figure it wouldn't hurt to have a listing of National Drive Electric week events in the Midwest area. I'll be bringing my Leaf to the Columbus, Ohio event and I'd love to see a bunch of Teslas show up! (It looks like there are two Model S's that will be in attendance so far). Easton is a...

    Another Dealer EV Horror Story

    ...or why I can't wait until the Model 3 is available for purchase and I never have to work with a dealer ever again. To put it simply, I factory-ordered a smart electric drive from my local Mercedes dealership in late October, 2014. 3-4 month delivery time, no later than March. Not a huge...
